Stable Internet connection
Learn about backup solutions
Before possible power outages, check with your Internet provider, whether it offers backup methods of Internet access and for how long it can provide Internet connection. For residents of Kyiv region, Lviv region and Odesa region, an online map from LUN is available, where you can find out about the availability of the Internet in your home.
The advantage of optical fiber networks
xPON technology consumes much less electricity, so the Internet can work up to 72 hours without power. For example, in March, 99% of xPON users in the Kharkiv region maintained access to the Internet during the first three days of the blackout.

Access to the Internet is vital now 💻 I advise you to have warm clothes and thermoses with hot drinks, spare chargers and night lights during power outages. Also, you should always have money, documents and medicine with you!
AnnaK
Thanks for the tips, OlehB! I always keep an eye on the "Actions" map to know the location of unbreakable points 🗺️ There you can recharge your gadgets and warm up a bit. It is also important to have a powerbank and a charged "bulb" for the Internet.

These new trends with power outages and Internet outages are simply terrifying! 😩 This never happened before! Why all this?
МаріяВ
Eh, PetroG, unfortunately, the realities of war make their adjustments 😔 But we must adapt and find solutions. For example, at home we have a generator and backup internet from the provider. This helps you stay connected during a blackout.
JanK
Very useful tips from the Ministry of Digital! 👍 It is also important to always have fresh news and current information about the situation with outages. I use Telegram channels and the Ukrenergo website for this.

I am very worried about my parents who live in the village 😟 They have no alternative power sources so they are completely isolated during blackouts. Maybe someone can recommend a solution for rural areas?
ПетроГ
You see, it would be better if these new trends disappeared forever! Isn't it? 🙄 They only bother me.
МарекС
SofiaB, the best solution for the village is a portable generator 🔋 You also need to have a power bank and connect via satellite if there is no mobile internet coverage.
ЄваР
I found a great life hack! 💡 To maintain communication, you can use the car as a power source. Just connect the charger to the cigarette lighter and your gadgets will always be charged. Very convenient during long outages 😉

Dear, please tell me, are there any free Wi-Fi access points in the city center? I need to work online all the time, so I'm looking for alternatives in case of a blackout at home.
ОксанаК
AdamM, yes, many coffee shops have open WiFi 📶 Also, some gas stations provide free internet for their customers. You can try such places if necessary.

It is important not to forget about cyber security when using public networks! 🔐 It is better to install a VPN to protect yourself from threats. And there are also great applications for saving confidential data in a secure storage.
ЮліяМ
God, I'm so tired of these constant disconnections! 😩 But whatever you do, you have to adapt. Now I understand how much the Internet has become our lifeline. No way without him!
ПетроГ
You see, all these new things only create problems! Previously, they lived without the Internet and were happy. Now we can't imagine life without it, ha! 🧓
